HC Deb 15 June 1989 vol 154 c508W
43. Mr. Tony Lloyd

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment he makes of the changes in volume and types of illegal drugs in Britain.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

The Government attach high priority to tackling drug misuse in all its aspects and have developed a comprehensive strategy for that purpose, which is overseen by the ministerial group on the misuse of drugs. The group, which I chair, receives regular assessments of the drug misuse situation as it affects the United Kingdom, based on information from a number of sources.
